Evgenia Obraztsova – Swan Lake, Part 4 (Odile/Black Swan)

is this Odile’s variation? Why is it different from the usual variation you’d see in classic adaptations?

これは、オディールのヴァリエーションですか。いつも見るクラシックバレエの演出とどうして違うんですか。

This is the Bourmeister version, as opposed to Petipa/Ivanov, and it was first performed in the Stanislavsky in 1956. Bourmeister’s choreography/use of the original score emphasizes the psychological complexity of the third act.

Very cunning yet sexy in many areas, her Odile is very different. 🙂 I also like the orchestration of this performance – never have I heard Tchaikovsky music played like that. May I ask, what performance is this and with which company?
